| Entitlements * | REVIEW COMPLETED | Arroyo Chico Area Plan: The Area Plan is intended to guide future development within the Plan area while protecting and enhancing existing neighborhoods. Residential policies in the Area Plan include Policy 1 to preserve the integrity of established neighborhoods and discouraging rezoning requests for the conversion of residential uses to nonresidential uses within established neighborhoods. The Plan’s Residential Subarea 4 Julia Keen Neighborhood Map indicates that the subject parcel as existing residential to be Retained. All surrounding parcels in subject area are also designated as existing residential to be Retained. The Area Plan and existing R-1 zoning would not support a plan amendment and rezone within this residential neighborhood. Surrounding Zoning and Land Uses: West – R-1, low density residential North – R-1, low density residential East – R-1, low-density residential South – R-1, low-density residential Analysis: A proposed rezoning would not conform to the Area Plan, and a zone change from R-1 within this existing residential neighborhood would not be supported by Plan policy. A plan amendment and rezoning are not supported by either Plan policy or existing land use and zoning pattern in the immediate area. However, residential care services are allowed within the existing R-1 zone subject to Unified Development Code (UDC) development standards. |

| Site Zoning * | REVIEW COMPLETED | CDRC Entitlements Pre-Application Transmittal PDSD Zoning Review FROM: Loran Shamis; Principal Planner PROJECT: TP-PRE-0126-00021 Address: 3351 E 28TH ST Parcel(s): 130090920 Existing Zoning: R-1 Proposed Zoning: N/A Existing Use: Residential – Single Family Residential Proposed Use: Residential – Residential Care Services TRANSMITTAL DATE: February 11, 2026 COMMENTS: 1. COMMENT: The site is zoned R-1 and the proposed use is Residential – Residential Care Facility, which is permitted for up to 10 residents subject to use specific standards UDC 4.9.7.J. 2.a, 3.a, 4 (UDC Table 4.8.4). 2. COMMENT: Unlimited residents is permitted in R-1 through Zoning Examiner Special Exception Procedure subject to use specific standards 4.9.7.J.2.a, 3.d, .4, .8 (UDC Table 4.8.4). It does not appear the site meets applicable use specific standard UDC 4.9.7.J.8, minimum lot size requirement. Per UDC 4.9.7.J.8, The maximum permitted lot coverage is 60%. The minimum required setback from all interior lot lines adjoining residential zoning is 20 feet. The minimum required lot size is one and one-half acres, with the following exception. Exception: There is no minimum lot size requirement for Residential Care Services use in the R-3, C-1, C-2, C-3, OCR-1, and OCR-2 zones. 3. COMMENT: Even though underlying R-1 zoning may allow a Residential Care Service with up to 10 residents in most areas of the City, this property is also covered by an Airport Environs Zone (AEZ) Approach Departure Corridor-1 (ADC-1), which per UDC 5.6.8.A.2.e., prohibits all uses within the the Residential Use Group, including all Residential Care Services. As such, because of the ADC-1, no Residential Care Services are permitted at this site. 3. COMMENT: The comments provided are preliminary and are not to be assumed as a complete review of the proposal. During the Development Package review process, a full review will be made by Zoning to assure compliance with the applicable UDC development criteria and Technical Standards. If you have any questions, please contact me at Loran.Shamis@tucsonaz.gov. |
